Ensuring Universal and Equitable Access to the COVID-19 Vaccine
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Vianna Vo’s capstone project centered on the issues of human rights and global health related to COVID-19 vaccine distribution and access. More specifically, Vianna examined how a temporary suspension of intellectual property rights pertaining to the development of the COVID-19 vaccine is necessary to protect the human right to health. Through an analysis of human rights law in the 20th century, UN guidelines on health as a human right, and intellectual property practices, Vianna demonstrates how a human rights lens can positively create equitable and universal vaccine distributions.
